\f0\fs24 \cf0 final_data.dta has the merged survey and transcript data for respondents. Most variables should be self-explanatory, though a few things need explaining. Some variables end in numbers (e.g. major_group_1, rank_6, etc.). When these numbers range from 0 to 7 (e.g. major_group_*, num_maj4_classes_*), the numbers indicate semesters, with 0 meaning Fall 2014 and 7 meaning Spring 2018. When these numbers range from 1 to 10 (rank_*, guess_ba_*), they indicate field of major. \
\
nonrespondent_major_groups.dta has the major group for non-respondents in each semester.\
\
make_tables_figures.do, as you might expect, takes the two datasets and makes the tables and figures from the paper.\
